    Theft on the Camino... a growing Concern?

    I've started this thread as I've noticed many more posts relating to theft of items. I'd like to say that largely, in my experience, the Camino is safe, and free from incident. But in saying this, I also had stuff stolen from my bag in 2018. I posted a thread and faced a load of resistance at...

    Caution to the wind or planning safely? Which way should we travel?

    So I've noticed a trend on the Forum that differs a tad since I did my first Camino in 2013. There are more Pilgrims planning their Camino carefully. I'd rather this not be a discussion that sets people apart, but rather an exploration on the pros and cons with each "way", or opposing...

    Spirituality, theft and staying aware on the Camino - from a current pilgrim

    So this is my second Camino. And again it's bringing me a new level of gifts & wonderful people to learn from. But to be honest it's much busier than in 2013, and I've noticed that some pilgrims seem to focus much more on their own "spiritual" journey, and much less on the practical issues...

    SNCF Sale on (Late January)

    Just thought I’d sent a friendly note to anyone who wants to book a train ticket in France. SNCF are having a sale atm (mid to late Jan 2018) not too sure how good it is overall, but I was lucky enough to get a train ticket for 60 euros from Paris to Bayonne. Buen Camino Pilgrims.

    Picking the right Backpack

    After reading a few threads about differing equipment for the Camino, I thought I might drop a few tips about what I think to be the second most important item we all carry, the backpack (right behind a good pair of shoes). I'm by no means an expert, but after 30+ years of backpacking, I thought...

    Late April 2018 Start - St. Jean to Santiago

    So again I feel the urge. I'm prepped to start my second Camino on April 29th 2018 from St. Jean to Santiago. Thought I might start this thread in case anyone is leaving around the same time. You never know when we might run into each other... as happens.

    Preparing our Pilgrimage in Oct

    I've just read a wonderful piece from a priest who prepares Vatican Pilgrimages. As I'm leaving in 4 days I'm trying to empty myself... In many ways. Even if your not too religiously inclined I thought it a wonderful look at preparing for a "space for reflection" - and as it differs from our...

    Bayonne to St Jean Sunday 6th October

    This may seem like a silly question - but can anyone assist me with how to get to St Jean on a Sunday? (6th Oct) Seems like the trains don't run & I can't find bus info. Links please or alternatives? Thanks

    What we want to leave behind...

    So many topics on lists, where's this, what's with that. Good in their own way. But I got to thinking... Isn't this pilgrimage more about what we want to leave behind? Reflect on? Cultivate in our souls? So what are people bringing along so they can "leave" behind?
